Yes, absolutely no difference between USA and Russia whatsoever. In fact, I’d move there if I were you. Literally the same thing. Might as well.
"A tomato isn't a vegetable, it's a fruit. Like apples"
"Yeah dumbass there's no difference between apples and tomatoes. In fact, I'd go ahead and never eat a tomato again. Might as well"
Oh thanks for schooling me on figures of speech, completely missing the point of my comment.
You know sir, you are a man. Just like Trump, Jeffrey dahmer and Hitler. Just saying, food for thought out there. Being very smart here, don’t get upset at my simile if you can.
We didn't miss the point of your comment. We thought it was stupid, and his comparison was to highlight why.
why would anyone get upset that you're bad at language?
despite your sarcastic remark, your attempt once again shows you don't understand how these figures of speech work. your simile doesn't work the same way because Russia is a good example of an oligarchy, and apple is a good example of a fruit. but mangolini, dahmer and hitler aren't good examples of men.
so a better example would be more like "donnie is a fascist, like hitler". hitler is a proper example for a fascist, but the sentence still doesn't mean he's literally the same as hitler with no differences whatsoever.

For one, Trump doesn't like dogs. For another, Hitler never had access to a nuclear arsenal.
Yeah but who in the world would like to live in Russia?
The USA isn't at Russias level like at all.
Lots of problems for sure, but lets not try to prop up Dictatorship Russia to the, admittedly low level of the USA.
Just like Trump, Jeffrey dahmer and Hitler.
One of these things is not like the other. Can you tell which one?
Why does the comparison make you angry?
Is it for literary reasons, meaning OP should learn how to use a simile correctly?
Is it for personal reasons, which are only known to you?
Is it for political reasons?
A smile? Was the post supposed to be ironic and I missed it? If so I’m relieved.
I’m not angry, I’m just appalled at the stupidity of even comparing USA and Russia on the basis of rich people having power, as if that’s something of a novelty rather than how societies have been for the past few millennia.
Not saying it’s fair or anything, just that it’s a stupid argument.
Let’s all hate on RuPaul’s drag race! They put so much effort in how they dress, like you know who else? THE NAZIS
SIMILE note the first "i". It's a literary device which compares two things. I'm guessing this wasn't what upset you?
Ah, misread. Sorry, I’m tired.
By all means, do all the similes you want. This one is as stupid as my RuPaul one though, so please don’t be upset if you get called out.
"like" does not mean "identical to"
we have serious issues in the us, ones we need to address. it's about to get way harder than it's ever been to do that
Oh yes, 100% with you in that.
We can talk about this stuff without dragging in Russia. “We are not that different” is one of their propaganda pillars, let’s not do them any favours.
“We are not that different” is one of their propaganda pillars
That only works if you think America is a good thing. When someone on the left says "America is a dictatorship of capital with theocratic characteristics, like Russia", they're not saying nice things about either Russia or America.
Nobody mentioned Russia until you did.
It's in the post title.
So it is. I didn't notice that.
